PC is 2.4 P4 with 512mb RAM.

First person shooters are my fave. Heard about Far Cry and wondered if any good.

Single Player FPS
Doom 3 (once all graphics settings turned very low)
Far Cry
Call Of Duty
Half Life 2
Delta Force: Black Hawk Down still worth a play IMO

Multi Player FPS
Battlefield Vietnam
Call Of Duty
Joint Operations
Counter-Strike: Source
UT2004

Racing
NFSU2
Live For Speed (free trial version out and I managed ok with keyboard/mouse untill I got my MOMO Racing wheel)
Need steering wheel really for these:
GTR
TOCA Race Driver 2
Richard Burns Rally

But if you prefer arcade racers the last 4 may not be much fun for you

As above pretty much, if you buy half-life 2 bronze pack you will also get CS:Source FOC and HL2 Deathmatch which are both good fun online. If you buy the silver pack you also get Day of Defeat and Half Life 1 source plus the original valve back catalogue. The gold pack is just as silver with some additional stuff like a hat, book, etc.

The silver is well worth the money IMO, especially if you dont have the valve back catalogue games. Far Cry is good although like Doom 3 its pretty intensive on your processor/memory. It might be worth getting an extra 512MB of ram if you want to play the latest fps stuff with some of the "nice bits" turned on.
